  • To make these pretty green spinach crêpes, take a large bowl and crack in an egg. Mix well. Sift in the flour along with the baking powder, and stir everything together thoroughly again. Separately, blend the spinach, salt, and milk in a blender. Pour that mixture into the batter and stir well once more. Let the batter rest for ten to fifteen minutes, then heat your skillet well. It's important not to overheat the pan — otherwise the first crêpe comes out a mess — so keep it on moderate heat and test as you go. One thing to note: the crêpes come out bright green on one side and browned on the other, but that's easy to work around — just flip each crêpe onto the plate whichever side up you prefer. We filled ours with a meat filling and garnished them with pomegranate seeds; you can do the same or come up with your own way of serving. I think they'd be delicious with a sweet filling too — there's plenty of room to experiment. This recipe is great for anyone who wants to add some color and variety to the table. Maslenitsa is right around the corner — one more reason to welcome spring in bright, festive style! These vivid green crêpes are perfect for the holiday or a kids' party. My son happily ate several, and he's usually a picky eater — so, dear parents of little ones, definitely give these green crêpes a try. And do share photos of your crêpes in the comments. Enjoy!
  • We made our spinach crêpes with a filling of ground meat, onion, and carrot, but you can use whatever filling you like. When you make them, be sure to serve some sour cream or a sauce alongside.
